35 Things You Might Not Know

Well, they say the mind is the first thing to go. Today, for some reason, I thought I had a dentist appointment at 7 am. I got up, got ready, and THEN turned on my phone to find a message from my dental hygienist that I DIDN’T have an appointment. Crap. Now, I am awake. I decided to take myself to breakfast. The reason I said the mind is the first thing to go is that today is my 35th birthday. For 35 years I have been on this earth. Damn, I’m getting old. I thought today, in celebration of my birthday, I would do a fun thing and share 35 Things You Might Not Know about me.
